I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 159 Stepping on Hot Wheels and Holding a Golden Cudgel

"...Well, okay, I'll think about it."

"...Well, Editor Tao is being polite."

The call with Editor-in-Chief Tao of Modu Publishing House also ended.

Ji Zhuo was already paralyzed on the bed,
He is already considering whether he should hire an assistant,
Just deal with it for yourself.

Well, pen and ink seems to be good.

It's very skillful to handle this kind of thing,
It's a pity, the pen and ink are mixed up with the editor-in-chief, can you come to be an assistant?

Forget it... Let's put this kind of thing on hold for now, it hasn't reached that level yet.

But... this time "Night Tour to Fengdu City" was published in Feimo Novels,
It is still possible to ask Feimo Novels to help, although the copyright is entirely in Ji Zhuo's hands.

"Ding dong."

At this moment,
The phone rang again.

Ji Zhuo took a look,
Finally, I didn't mention "Night Tour in Fengdu City".

It's a message from Editor-in-Chief Lou of Delwin Press.

"Editor Lou: Mr. Ji, the first English draft of "The Bird in a Cage" has been translated, would you like to take a look?"

This is the end of the translation?

It seems like two or three weeks have passed, right?

Is there a month?
However, the length of "The Bird in the Cage" is only about [-] words in this province.
It seems that it is not too fast.

"Clumsy and uncommon: finished the translation? That's fine, let me see.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: It’s just the first draft, and it will be refined and typeset later. "

Editor-in-Chief Lou replied with another message,
Just sent an encrypted document directly,

Download it and unzip it.

Ji Zhuo saw the English translation of "Bird in a Cage".

Just this first draft,

Ji Zhuo felt that Editor-in-Chief Lou was really modest.
From the overall layout point of view, it feels very comfortable.

At least there are no big chunks together,
Let's look at the translation of some sentences,
At first glance, Ji Zhuo thought it was okay.

But take a closer look...

"Um……"

Ji Zhuo paused, he felt a little floating.

Based on his English proficiency, which has been graduated for several years and he has never used it since he left university,
He actually felt that the translation was almost meaningless?
It's not that it's bad,

It's just...he felt that he could write better on his own.

As soon as such an idea popped up in my mind,
Then Ji Zhuo was startled.

Fuck, what am I thinking about...

But when he thought about it carefully... he did find that he could find a more appropriate translation of words and sentences.

This time,

Ji Zhuo is silent?
Could it be his own growing writing attributes,
Not only useful for mother tongue, but also for foreign languages?
Sounds plausible...

"Clumsy and uncommon: I took a look...it's still okay.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is not very satisfied with this translation?
Clumsy and uncommon: Not at all, I just have my own ideas, which may not be right.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is the original author, and he must have a deeper understanding of the original meaning of the translation. If Mr. Ji has any questions, it’s okay to say so.

Clumsy and Uncommon: That’s fine..."

then,

Ji Zhuo, who felt a little panicked, simply said a few questions.

"Editor Lou: OK, our publishing house will communicate with the translation team and try our best to present Mr. Ji's works as perfect as possible.

Clumsy and uncommon: It's just a personal opinion, and it may not be right.Editor-in-Chief Lou is polite. "

Ji Zhuo himself was not too sure about this feeling.

Maybe it's just an illusion of my own?

After all, didn't I say that the greater the person, the smaller he is.

The more I know, the more I feel that I am good at it, and I feel that I am good at it, maybe it is a real dish.

"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, you are being polite...By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate Mr. Ji on his new book, Mr. Ji. Do you have any ideas about publishing this new book?

Clumsy and Uncommon: ...Why, Delwin Publishing House still plans to publish mythological novels?
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Cultural export, although I work for Delwin Publishing House, I am also a native of China. "

I also mentioned,
Editor-in-Chief Lou did not pursue the publication of this book too much.

After all, that's what it says, but if this mythological novel is published overseas, the results may still be relatively difficult.

After chatting with this editor-in-chief Lou,

Ji Zhuo lay down on the bed again,
I just feel a little tired.

paralyzed for a while,

Just picked up the phone again,

Open the game and start pitting your teammates.

But I'm playing
Editor Lou sent another message.

"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, your opinion has been fed back to the translation team... Well, Mr. Ji, do you know other languages ​​of Europa? Why don't you try it too?
Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and uncommon: I really don't know how to do this. "

……

"...It is said that the stone man Shi Sheng stepped on the hot wheel, held a golden cudgel in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked the black cat monster to the ground."

"The black cat monster begged for mercy again and again, it was persuaded, it was accepted."

"In this way, the stone man subdued the black cat monster again, and the black cat monster also worshiped the stone man. The stone man gave the black cat monster a legal name of Big Cat."

When the sun rises and sets, it is another day. Ji Zhuo is busy updating the code words,
Then I came to the Guangming Welfare Institute again to see these hairy children,

Tell this group of children stories that have not been told before,

This group of children looked forward to looking forward to Ji Zhuo, and Ji Zhuo was full of sense of accomplishment when he met such gazes.

After drooling again, Ji Zhuo brought today's story to an end,
"In this way, the stone man took his disciples again and began to tour the countries and states, spreading the orthodoxy left by his master."

"There is a poem that says, Shi Sheng came here proudly, stepped on a hot wheel, held a golden cudgel in his hand, worshiped his master to learn magic, and showed supernatural powers with three heads and six arms. The master went to the immortal, Shi Sheng taught the Tao, subdued all demons, and all came.

Know what will happen next, and listen to the next chapter to break it down. "

"Okay, today's story is over."

Ji Zhuo smiled and said to the group of children.

Although the group of children were still interested in listening, they didn't pester them to continue listening.

Having suffered a lot since childhood, these children are more sensitive and sensible than their peers.

"...The story is over, can you tell me what you want to be when you grow up?"

"Xu Zihao, you come first."

"...I... wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid."

It's interesting to hear a child talk about his childhood.

"But Aunt Ai said that I can't be a doctor, so I want to train guide dogs in the future."

"Well, not bad."

Ji Zhuo stroked the child's hair and said aloud.

"Who's next?"

"I want to be a teacher...I want to be a rich man, and then make the whole orphanage big."

"Well, if you are ambitious, I will support you!"

Ji Zhuo was just under the tree in the courtyard of the orphanage, chatting casually with these children,

I didn't deliberately control the direction of the chat, and the child said whatever he said.

And so until nightfall,
"Xiao Ji, why don't we eat at the orphanage tonight?"

"No, not today, I have an appointment for dinner tonight."

"Girlfriend? Then I won't stop you."

"Okay. Boys, hurry up and eat. I'll come back another day and tell you the rest of the story."

"Brother Ji, can you tell a ghost story next time, I want to hear a ghost story."

"Okay, next time I'll tell you about Zhang Cheng's night tour in Fengdu City."

Talk to these kids again,

Ji Zhuo left.

He had previously made an appointment to have dinner with Yun Qingmu at night,

It's time to pass.

But just out of the orphanage,
Received the news of the editor's pen and ink again.

"Ben Mo: Boss? Where? Is this book going to be on the shelves next week?

Pen and ink: The progress of your plot always makes me feel that the book is almost over. "

"Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and Uncommon: It's almost the same, and the book will be finished within a month after it hits the shelves.

pen and ink:……

Pen and ink: OK, so it will be on shelves next week?
Clumsy and extraordinary: OK.

Pen and ink: Well, then I will try to arrange more recommendations for you next week.By the way, communicate with Shiyue Novels, and they will also arrange some channel recommendations for you.

Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and extraordinary: OK. "
